That's hideous....I have two friends that are pregnant (one of them with twins) and have the same due date...I'm thinking I'll be looking at all the baby cakes on this website for inspiration on their baby shower cakes...

(raises one eyebrow) Ummm- okay.(cocks head to the side) What concept, exactly, were they going for? If it really was because toys were left on the floor, then that's hilarious. That'll teach them! lolWV: deout. I was on deouts with my children after I baked their toys into a cake.

I'm trying to work out whether it's a whole doll in the cake, or whether it was one of those ones with a fabric body and someone has actually spent time dismembering it to put it in a cake. Either scenario is pretty disturbing ...

Wait...how does that even work? wouldn't the doll melt or a least get singed in the oven? Reminds me of the Ramona Quimby story when she ruined Beezus' birthday cake by putting her doll named Chevrolet into the oven. (Chevrolet was pretending to be the witch in Hansel and Gretel.)

My first (well...actually second or third...) thought was that it would be kind of cute if the baby was sticking out the top because it would kind of look like it was wearing a wide hoop skirt!The way it is though...that's just weird. I'd love to know the actual idea behind this.

That cake puzzled/disturbed me so much that I totally didn't even see the (apparently) pretty pansies on the side... What in the WORLD was the wreckorator going for? If it was W-T-F-were-they-thinking-creepy, they succeeded.

You know, if the cake were rectangular it would look a little like a blanket partially covering a happy baby, yet still lying in the frig. But the way it is here--it is just ODD! What were they thinking???

WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING??????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????? ?? ??????????????????????????????.

I'm going to throw out a theory here: the cake was made "around" the baby. Back when I attempted to decorate cakes, I had a mold that was a huge "skirt" that had a tube up the middle. Sort of like a Bundt pan. Once the cake was made and cooled, a Barbie could be inserted into the cake tunnel and then frosted into a cake "dress."

Perhaps this cake was baked in a two-halves Easter-egg mold with tubes inserted at strategic places so the (dismembered) plastic baby parts could be inserted when the cake was put together. The frosting would hide the seams.

Or maybe the baker is just a sicko.

Or maybe the aliens won't come in pods, they come in Easter eggs. Cadbury Bunny, beware!

Alli: the doll limbs were probably added to the cake after it cooled and before frosting. For example, doll cakes have a doll pick (doll body from the waist up, approx. 3" long plastic skewer from the waist down) inserted into a bell-shaped cake and the decorator frosts a bodice onto the doll to tie it in to the dress.

Back in the early 1980s, my mother hid a Cabbage Patch Kid in the microwave while my father was watching a late-night horror movie.

Haha! This blog is HILARIOUS! I just discovered it a few days ago...I write for a humor blog and was looking for others when I came across this site...I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time! It's so true what they say - "a picture's worth a thousand words."

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
